Book Reviews of Super Baby Food
Book Review: A little crazy, but still helpful
Summary: 3 Stars
There are part of this book that just made me laugh. Her advice on using the dishwasher or making your own hairspray was hysterical, not helpful. When she focuses on food, though, it's a good education for both new parents and adults. There are a lot of good suggestions (such as using flaxseeds) that make sense for anyone's diet.Book Review: A little daunting...
Summary: 2 Stars
As a first time mother I like this book as a reference. However, the author's approach to preparing food and caring for children in general is quite daunting! As my friend phrased it, "You may feel the need to climb inside your sterilized refrigerator to make your baby's food!" I was recommended this book and would say that it is a good overview, especially the itemized section describing methods for dealing with many fruits and vegetables. You just may want to supplement it with another, less paranoid resource.Book Review: A little hard to follow but some great ideas...
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this book since it tells you new foods that you can introduce to your child and how to prepare teh foods that you are going to make yourself. I question some of her introduction of nuts into the picture at 8 months but I will go with what my pediatrician says. It is a little hard to follow at times due to all of the references to other pages and chapters for definitions. I want my daughter to grow up healthy and this book has some great ideas to get them started on eating a healthy diet.Book Review: A little over the top, but a great reference
Summary: 4 Stars
We all want only what's best for our babies. I just moved and am remodeling our kitchen, so I can't cook baby food right now. I breastfeed and serve Earth's Best along with Gerber rice cereal with formula ingredients (pumping is a hassle and she still gets 8-10 breastfeedings a day). Unlike the Sears books, which are loathsome and patronizing, however, this one doesn't make you feel any less of a mom if you don't go all the way with what seems like an inane amount of work. And it's really a great reference for what, when and how much at each age. Take what you want, leave the rest. For instance, my cousin purees frozen organic veggies and puts them in her empty baby food jars and skips all the fuss of peeling, shelling, etc., putting food in ice cube trays and then transferring them to baggies.Book Review: A little overboard
Summary: 3 Stars
I had taken my time purchasing a "cookbook" for my now almost 11 month old son. I just recieved the book a day ago and found the beginning quite informative and was excited to venture into different tastes and textures to vary his diet. I flipped through several pages that didn't pertain to us (since my son is now on solid foods and such). But I was disappointed that the author seriously lives and breathes organic, all-natural and health food store ingredients. Now I want the best nutrition possible for my little guy, but I don't even eat that stuff! I believe in eating healthy well rounded meals, but I just feel that this is a bit extreme. I am currently thumbing through some recipes in the center of the book that seem pretty desent and will try them. Maybe I'm just ignorant to the foreign side of "healthy eating". Or maybe I had something else in mind.
